One family, two countries, two researchers. Experiences with a simultaneous
matched sample methodology
A simultaneous matched sample (SMS) methodology
allows two researchers in two different locations to observe the
effect of human embedding in transnational social relations The exchange of field notes provided significant advantages to the
research. In particular, it revealed the dynamics of social
relationsBeing on two different sides of the transnational family
network and the continuous exchange of field notes provided the
advantage that the researchers were able to observer the
simultaneity, as it allowed them to immediately follow up on events
on both sides. The exchange helped the contextualising of data and of the other
side, and to discuss field notes and reflect on them. Researchers working with a multi-sited research
approach, like the SMS methodology, should be careful in publishing
information of the other side, as this may have important
consequences for the relation dynamics-mutual trust.
